Rob McLeese: Let There Be "No" Light

Remarks by Glenna Carr Chair Independent Electricity System Operator, Feb. 2006 (pg 4/14)

"Supply was never interrupted last summer. The IESO didn’t let the lights flicker
as Rob McLeese – the Chair of the Toronto Board of Trade’s Electricity Task
Force, noted recently in the Toronto Star. Rob was quoted as saying that one of
the biggest mistakes the IESO made last summer was in keeping the lights on.
Rob’s point of course was that there is nothing like a blackout to make people
realize the severity of the supply situation, particularly in Toronto.
While you
may be right Rob, I trust you will be pleased to hear the IESO’s number one
priority is to keep the lights on."
